Comments on: LABOR OF LOVE http://grimesguitars.com/grimestunes Tue, 10 May 2011 19:48:32 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.2 By: Alicia http://grimesguitars.com/grimestunes/#comment-157 Alicia Tue, 10 May 2011 19:48:32 +0000 http://GrimesTunes.com/?page_id=3#comment-157 This CD is fantastic. I've listened to it 3 times and carefully read the liner notes. Grimes is such a gifted lyricist, and has a wide dramatic range (and a series of characters!) in a very good singing voice. I like all of the songs and eclectic styles in the CD. I also appreciated the production values in this recording, the graphics and liner notes, and, of course, all the great guitar playing. Really a superior package, altogether. "Labor of Love's" has a blend of political and economic outrage, relationship songs (happy and otherwise), humor, philosophical musings and spiritual uplifting.

Firstly, every song is brilliantly written from the poetic and thought-provoking lyrics to the harmony and song structure. It is a cd which features Steve Grimes seasoned vocals and tasty guitar work...literally a labor of love... in more ways than one. The guest musicians on the cd are a decadent icing on a cake of total acoustic yumminess! Dr. Nat “A Labor of Love” is well-brewed music.

I usually enjoy 3 or 4 songs off a new CD, but this complete album is a joy to experience, with each cut sending surprise after surprise with a tasteful touch that only a lifetime of work can achieve. Thank You! With Aloha, George and Naomi Hey Steve,

Get it out there...listening to the amazing harmonica solo...I realized "that's gotta be Norton"...Norton Buffalo played on my very first studio demo with Robben Ford, Jimmy Haslip, Nicky Hopkins et al...(what a blessing and unforgettable beginning) Hearing Norton after the music world just losing him so recently was...just an indescribable gift to my heart...he was a great soul and talent and so are you, Steve. Great respect and aloha. “PERFECT STRANGER” is a hit song.
